Past Speakers

In January of 2010 the Interior Design Show launched the Conversations in Design annual symposium. The symposium has brought leading designers and design industry professionals to the stage where they share their experiences and challenge audiences to consider provocative new ideas such as 2010’s theme “A World Without Oil”. Then in 2011, the symposium provided new insight to new practices, technologies and products with “Crowdsourcing, Creativity and Community”. Each year, the all-day symposium is overwhelmingly well-received by over 300 architects, business executives, interior and industrial designers in attendance.
